Bath repair at your home in Derrington
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include chips along the edge of the bath and impact holes in acrylic, across roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Advice

Your questions about bath repair in Derrington
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
When to call us in Derrington
Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the colour is matched
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Landlords, agents and businesses in Derrington
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
